Bora-amidinate complexes of lanthanide(II) metals

Reaction of (2-Me2N-α-Me3Si-benzyl) 2Ln·(thf)2 (Ln = Yb, Eu and Sm) with one equivalent of DIPP(H)N-BH-N(H)DIPP (DIPPNBN-H2, DIPP = 2,6-iPr-phenyl) gave the first LnII boraamidinate complexes which crystallized in the presence of THF as DIPPNBN·Ln·(thf) 4. Although only the Sm and Eu complex crystallize isomorphic, all three show similar structures. The very small N-Ln-N' bite angles of 59.74(6)63.28(9)° leave a large part of the metal coordination sphere available for neutral thf ligands.
